rePurpose impact framework in action
The BASE Framework is our leading impact creation process that is the strong foundation for each rePurpose Global plastic recovery impact project. This framework ensures that our interventions in each geography create additional, impactful and verifiable outcomes.
Baseline
High plastic waste leakage into the ocean
- Indonesia is the world’s second largest contributor to ocean plastic.
- Nearly two million people work in an informal, exploitative, and low paid, waste sector.
Additionality
New collection and recycling systems for ocean-bound plastic
- Increase plastic collection through waste aggregators.
- All that can be recycled is recycled into plastic crates.
Solution
Solution for Laut Yang Tenang
- Multi-stakeholder engagement to increase collections
- Informal waste pickers and aggregators, community waste banks, recyclers etc.
- Increased collection rates and recycling for flexible plastic bags
Evaluation
Verra registered
